Jacksonville Jaguars slump to fifth consecutive defeat

The Jacksonville Jaguars fall to 0-5 for the season courtesy of a 17-9 defeat at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers at EverBank Field.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are still looking for their first win of the new NFL season having been beaten 17-9 by the Pittsburgh Steelers at EverBank Field this evening.

The hosts took the lead with the only points in the first quarter as Josh Scobee knocked over a field goal from 43 yards.

Shaun Suisham responded in the second quarter with a 24-yard kick of his own to level the scores, before Michael Palmer found space in the endzone to catch Ben Roethlisberger's pass for a one-yard touchdown.

Jacksonville refused to roll over, however, and a field goal either side of half time from Scobee reduced the deficit to just one point in the third quarter.

Their hopes of achieving a first victory of the campaign took a blow in the final period, though, as Blake Bortles threw his second interception of the night, picking out Brice McCain, who returned it 22 yards for a touchdown.

The Jaguars could not conjure up a reply in the closing stages as they fell to 0-5 for the campaign.
